| I sketched a portrait of him
| Le dibuje un retrato
|
| From memory
| De memoria
|
| His hands
| Sus manos
|
| His eyes
| Sus ojos
|
| Like I could bring 'em back to life
| Como si pudiera traerlos de vuelta a la vida
|
| Displeased
| Disgustado
|
| I ripped it in half
| lo rompí por la mitad
|
| And walked the pieces of
| Y caminó los pedazos de
|
| The wind of stern carried 'em back to me
| El viento de popa los llevó de vuelta a mí
|
| From my sailboat I could see
| Desde mi velero pude ver
|
| Two paper wings hover over me
| Dos alas de papel se ciernen sobre mí
|
| From stem to stern
| De proa a popa
|
| And ear to ear
| Y de oreja a oreja
|
| I knew that you were everywhere
| Sabía que estabas en todas partes
|
| With brush and canvas
| Con pincel y lienzo
|
| I’ll crush my sadness
| Aplastaré mi tristeza
|
| And paint those paper wings
| Y pinta esas alas de papel
|
| Like sails upon my back
| Como velas sobre mi espalda
|
| And fly like an angel of the sea
| Y volar como un ángel del mar
|
| Beside my sailor king
| Junto a mi rey marinero
|
| The captain of a wise and selfless heart
| El capitán de un corazón sabio y desinteresado
|
| From my sailboat I could see
| Desde mi velero pude ver
|
| Two paper wings hover over me
| Dos alas de papel se ciernen sobre mí
|
| From stem to stern
| De proa a popa
|
| And ear to ear
| Y de oreja a oreja
|
| I knew that you were everywhere
| Sabía que estabas en todas partes
|
| From my sailboat I could see
| Desde mi velero pude ver
|
| Dark blooming clouds hover over me
| Nubes oscuras y florecientes se ciernen sobre mí
|
| A flash of light
| Un destello de luz
|
| A gust of wind
| Una ráfaga de viento
|
| Will bring me to my love again
| Me traerá a mi amor otra vez
|
| When the winds pick up
| Cuando los vientos levantan
|
| Fall off, fall off, fall off
| Caerse, caerse, caerse
|
| Fuel the loving canvas
| Alimenta el lienzo amoroso
|
| Fall off, fall off, fall off
| Caerse, caerse, caerse
|
| Trim the jib and reef the main
| Recortar el foque y rizar el mayor
|
| The nearing gale is closing in
| El vendaval que se acerca se está cerrando
|
| Singing in the rigging
| Cantando en el aparejo
|
| Fall off, fall off, fall off
| Caerse, caerse, caerse
|
| From my sailboat I can see
| Desde mi velero puedo ver
|
| Glorious waves of memory
| Olas gloriosas de la memoria
|
| As the waves rage over me
| Mientras las olas se enfurecen sobre mí
|
| With you, my love
| Contigo mi amor
|
| On the wings of the sea | Sobre las alas del mar |
